ye aah-e-be-asar kya ho ye nakhl-e-be-samar kya ho
na ho jab dard hi yarab to dil kya ho jigar kya ho

baghal-gir aarzu se hain muraden aarzu mujh se
yahan is waqt to ek id hai tum jalwa-gar kya ho

muqaddar mein ye likkha hai kategi umr mar-mar kar
abhi se mar gae hum dekhiye ab umr bhar kya ho

murawwat se ho begana wafa se dur ho koson
ye sach hai naznin ho khub-surat ho magar kya ho

laga kar zakhm mein tanke qaza teri na aa jae
jo wo saffak sun pae bata ai chaara-gar kya ho

qayamat ke bakhede pad gae aate hi duniya mein
ye mana hum ne mar jaana to mumkin hai magar kya ho

kaha main ne ki 'nazm'-e-mubtala marta hai hasrat mein
kaha us ne agar mar jae to mera zarar kya ho
